Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Saalfeld an der Saale ND (1918) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed.

Despite its low value, this coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
